I’ve not had time to look at the latest JoN yet, but Robin’s paper sounds very reassuring, especially because I suspect my attempt to produce close to a 3 x 120 degree fix on Sirius, Arcturus and Vega with a MkIX Bubble and wearing my new specs on Thursday evening in the low light pollution area on Kelling Heath in Norfolk for you to play with will almost certainly fall amongst the 75% that land ‘outside the box’. I'm still trying to work out if I should be pleased or upset about this. DaveP
